Our favorite events tip: People shouldn’t be calling to ask if
there’s an author event tonight, they should be calling to ask what
the event tonight is. (hat tip to the fine folk at Elliott Bay Book
Company [Kim pumps her fists in victory, even though she has
absolutely nothing to do with events at EBBC])

Chapter II [33:37]

Kim can’t count. “A novel trying to answer big difficult
questions and not necessarily succeeding but at least giving it a
go.” = 19 words, not 16, but Sam still succeeded in the 20 Word
Wheelhouse Challenge

Emma will read anything blurbed by Kelly Link. Sam will read
things blurbed or compared to George Saunders or Sara Vowell. Also
books about musicians. (Emma recs Rob
Sheffield. Kim recs Hunger Makes Me a
Modern Girl by Carrie Brownstein)

Chapter III [43:25]

In Which We Discuss Book Problems in the Apocalypse, Kim
& Emma Learn About Cities in Canada, and Sam & Emma Get In
a Fight

Despite the fact that Sam has the Luddite Cynic Award hanging on
his fridge and is the last bookseller on Earth not on Twitter, you
can hang out with Sam and his mom on Facebook. Or email Sam at
sam@villagebooks.com.

UPDATE: Just before we posted this episode, Sam made himself a
Twitter account. Go
welcome him.
